Is the beginner mat more firm or squishy? my daughter has started to do more standing backbends and front walkovers and has already mastered cartwheels and rolls. which mat do you recommend?

4'x8'x2" Folding Mats would be great to continue working on backbends and walkovers. The folding mats are somewhat firm so that they can be walked on easily without losing your balance while being soft enough to absorb a fall during practice moves. When she progresses to flips be sure to pick up one of our crash mats to keep her safe when she is working on landings!
